What happens here
After preparing the cabin, the new Engcon joysticks are installed, replacing the excavator's original controls. This critical step involves mounting the joysticks into their designated positions, connecting their complex wiring harnesses to the excavator's electrical system, and integrating them with the new Engcon control module. Hydraulic lines may also be connected to the new joystick valving. The narrator explicitly points out the replacement of the 'old Kubota joysticks' with 'these Engcon joysticks', emphasizing the complete control system upgrade. Cable management, possibly using zip ties, is initiated to keep the wiring neat and secure.
Goal: Integrate the new Engcon control joysticks and related wiring/hoses into the excavator cabin.
